Be free
Response from developer
ScoringLive is a locally operated sports media service, not a publicly funded resource. Providing scores, schedules, statistics, and coverage of high school athletics across Hawaiʻi requires significant time, personnel, and resources. Our subscription model makes that coverage possible. We respect everyone’s choice whether to subscribe, but charging for the work involved in providing this service is not taking advantage of our community.
Not worth it atm
I think that’s why people are writing low/negative reviews of the app it’s because of this charge. I get the situation for both sides but there’s gotta be a better way for more accessibility for the scoring updates for everyone. Make it fair please. Everyone providing feedback is from Hawaii and they understand that “greed” mindset that they are saying and upsetting them.
Response from developer
We understand people prefer free. ScoringLive was free and ad-supported for more than 15 years, but unfortunately that model was no longer sustainable. We don’t know whether a paid model will be either, but at $24.99/year, we believe it gives ScoringLive the best path forward. We respect that the subscription may not be worth it for everyone, but this change isn’t about greed — it’s about giving ScoringLive a chance to operate sustainably. Going back to the old free model simply isn’t an option.
Stats not being updated
Response from developer
ScoringLive provides much more than just scores. Player stats are updated for many games throughout the season — including live, in-game statistical updates for much of our coverage on game nights. If there’s a specific game, team or player you believe is missing stats, please email us at ap@scoringlive.com so we can look into it specifically.
Mean the 7 day FREE TRIAL
Response from developer
App Store subscriptions, free trials, cancellations and billing are handled entirely by Apple, not ScoringLive. We do not process subscription charges or have the ability to charge an annual subscription after cancellation. If a 7-day trial was canceled the day after it began, we recommend reviewing the subscription and purchase history associated with your Apple Account and contacting Apple regarding the charge or a refund.
Trash
Response from developer
We understand that not everyone is going to agree with the move to a subscription model. ScoringLive provided its coverage free to the public for many years, but the cost of continuing to provide statewide high school sports coverage made that model unsustainable. Calling it “hopping on the bandwagon” to make money off locals simply isn’t an accurate characterization. In fact, we’ve intentionally kept the cost of a ScoringLive subscription well below what has become typical for subscription-based sports coverage. The goal is to make continuing this coverage financially sustainable while keeping it affordable for the local community. Whether someone chooses to subscribe is entirely up to them, but without a sustainable way to support the operation, the alternative isn’t unlimited free coverage — its no ScoringLive at all.
